Rulings on Wiping over Leather Socks and Stockings
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. Honorable Shaykh, this person asks and says: I am asking about wearing socks and the rulings on wiping over them. In reality, we do not adhere to the days; we put them on today and then take them off, and the same is true when we travel. So what are the rulings related to wiping?
Answer:
Wiping over leather socks or over stockings that cover the feet is for a duration that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) specified: one day and one night for the resident, and three days and their nights for the traveler. It is necessary to adhere to this duration. When the duration for the resident or the traveler is completed, the time for wiping ends, so it is not permissible to continue. Likewise, if he takes off what he wiped over, the wiping is invalidated, so it is necessary to wash the two feet. Yes.
